profitable journey.

LastSaturday afternoon, WilliamBrun
son, a negro trapper. living on a place
near Wyboo. Santee Swamp, belonging
o Mr. .Joseph Sprott of Manning, was
hot and killed by Wade Butler, anoth
er negro. We understand the cdifficulty
was brought on by Brunson objecting
to Butler fishing and hunting in that
part of the swamp under Brunson's
ontrol. Butler has not yet been ar
rested, and it is supposed he is in hid
ing in the swamp. Coroner Tobias held
te inuest Sunday.
Young men if you wan' to be nice
and give the girls a treat, secure turn
outs and take vour friends to the musi
cale at Summerton next Friday even
ing The Summerton people are for
tunate in securing so reputable a musi
cian as Professor Saul. and those whc
will be with him are high class singers.
It is very unusual for a town the size of
Summerton to be able to secure such
excellent entertainers, and we hope
Manning will be well represented.
The newly elected o!licers for the
town were sworn in last MYonday after
noon. The council is composed of
M1ayor, D. M. Bradham: Aldermen. P.
B. Mouzon, J. W. ligby. J. F. Dick
son. W. R. White, E. L. Wilkins. and
J. W. leriott. E. J. Browne. the pres
ent clerk, and S. J. Clark. G. H. Hug
gins, and A. C. Larvin, the present
police force, were re-elected. This
should be a good. strong council. as all
of the men on it are representatives of
the property and business interests of
this town. We look forward to a pro
gressive administration.
It. is said that Eugene Hogan. the
young man who left the Sumter court
without permission, was in M1anning
Saturday night, went to the telephone
ottice and inquired if he could get a
message through to Sumter. He was
drenching wet, and had the appearance
of a man that was being pursued. The
young lady at the office did not know
him, nor anything about his escape
from justice, but from her description.
those who know Hogan are very sure it
was him. When he left the telephone
office, he disappeared in the night, and
no one knows which way he went.
Some time ago Mr. T. J. Gibbon of
New Zion picked up a five dollar bill in
Manning, and like the honest man that
he is,he was anxious to find the owner.
Mr. Gibbon Pave us the money and we
advertised the find, without descrip
tion.Several parties claimed to have lost
money about that time, butonly one of
them satisfied us he is the rightful own
er,even then,we held off turning it over
so as to be certain, and after waiting
for further developments we paid the
money over to Mr. S. A. Shorter of Al
colu, whose description from the first,
answered the bill and the place where
it was found. Wonder if every man
wvho finds money will act as has _Mr.
Gibbon?
The editor of the TiMEs wants 1
distinctly understood that he is not B
r any other anonymous writer to this
papei. The person who signs himself
B does not live in -Manning. We men
tion this because some one has created
the impression that B. is the TimEs
editor, and such an impression is un
just to the editor and to B. We have
no hesitancy in saying that the writ
ings of a number of our corresponaents
received our attention. we edit them.
if we did not, some of them at times
would read very awkwardly. but in
editing these papers. we do not change
the intention. nor the sense of the ar
ticle. The.TImES editor has all he can
do looking after his position of the pa
per without assuming the task on anony
mous communications.
We understand that Hon. E. H. Aull,
president of the State press association
has been invited to deliver the annual
address at the commencement exercises
of the 'Moses Levi Memorial Institute.
and we hope the gentleman will ac
cept. Colonel Aulf occupies a promi
nent position in South Carolina, as is
evidenced by his continuous occupancy
of the president's chair of the State
press association. He is a forceful
writer and a good speaker, and if he
accepts the invitation our people can
ook forward to a literary treat. It is
ndeed gratifying to us that this invi
ation has been extended, as it is a ree
>gnition of the press which is contin
ally laboring to advance- the cause of
ducation, and then. Col. Aull is a per
onal friend who wve would be delight
d to have with us.
It is a pleasing sight to see so - man)
eople 'from the Sumnmerton. Felder,.
an>la, and St. Paul sections in Man
ing these days, taking advantage of
the magnificient stocks of dress goods.
lothing and millinery the .\Ianning
merchants are offer-ing. There is no
oubt that the merchant who keeps the
stock, and lets the public know it, and
as the prices to offer, will do busi
ess in spite of competition. One
nerchant told us that in and around
Sumerton, he alone placed hundreds
f dollars worth of lad~is' hats since
the spring trade opened up, and his
ress goods trade in that section has
ever neen better. Slapping us on the
soulder, he exclaimed: "-I have the
oods, and the prices, and what is
more, I advertise in THE M1ANNING
IMES, with that combination a man
ho cannot do business ought to close
p and go fishing." That man spells
his name W. E. Jenkinson. Read his
page ad.' in this issue, then come to
anning and see how business on a
uge scale is done.
Colclough Stukes, colored, the mur
derer of Captain David Wells was re
sentenced by Judge Gary at Sumter
last Saturday. His execution takes
place the third Friday in May. When
Stukes was convicted his lawyer- ap
pealed to the supreme court, but later
bandoned the appeal. When the case
vas called in the supreme court J. J.
antey attorney for Stukes failed to aip
pear and he was telegraphed for. hut
he did not go. The supreme court sus
tained the lower court, and it became
Judge Gary's duty to resentence the
prisoner. In repl'y to the formial qjues
tion if he had anything to say why sen
tence should not be pronounced. Stukes
made a statement in which he char-ged
his attorney with deserting the case.
Solicitor'Wilson felt called upon to
make a statement which was as follows:
"Your Honor, I would like to make
a statement. There have been so many
letters written that I dont know how
matters stand. When the caise came
up in the Supreme Court. I don't know
when I have been in such an embar
rassing position. I was there and Mr.
Canter didnt appear., and there a party
hd been convicted of murder and his
counsel didnt appear. -Well. I- didn't
know what to do-didn't kniow what the
excuse was, and I got' up in the Su
pree Court and made a statement and
we telegraphed to i Cantey- and- e
ceived a reply that he couldn t -come
that the case had been continued,-ind-I
got up and stated to the Supreme Cout.
tha- there I was, had been sohecitor- for
so many years. and I didn't know when
I had been in so embarrassing a posi
tion, and Col. Lee made an arg-ument.
and the Supreme Court p~assed an order
allowing so many days-I forget the
number-for MIr. Cantey to file his bief
or whatever he was going to do.
Cotton Association---A Powerful Address.
Notwithstanding the- short notice.
and-also the number of impatienyt, auf
kicers by nature, the cytton 'aer
tin of Claredon had a sigeedid mee
ug in MIanning last Saturdv. Hion.
E. D. Smith the State p2-nt. and
National organ izer was p. . ft, and of
course he was the featur-e the pro
ceedings. The court house was pack
ed, andl all were intent to hear fr-om
this distinguished man who has done so
much for the farmers of. the South,
what the future will big forth. In
order to hear this man, several of the
business houses close~d. all were cx
nected to shut up. but it being Satur
day they did not feel justified in mak
ing the sacr-ifice, but we doubt very
much if those who did close lust any
trade by it, because, everybody, white
and colored went to the meeting, and
got well paid for going.
M r. Smith had just rect urne-d fr-om at
extensive trip which shows on him. the
man is over-worked and goeeds rest.
He looked tired and thin, and has beer
told that he must go to thle hospital foi
treatment.
rpesidnt Hodgee in introducing the
speaiker, -made a few preliminary re
marks, and when he announced the
name 'of Smith. the whole audience
made such a welcoming demonstration
that it was several minutes before Mr.
Smith could proceed. The speech was
ch3racteristic of the man, eloquent,
foreeful. logical and full of wholesome
instruction and earnestuess. What
he did for the class who are going
about trying to disparage the associa
tion was a plenty. His argument that
cotton is a world necessity without a
competitor. and that the South has a
monopoly of the staple was exceedingly
strong and convincing. He compared
it to flax. silk.wool and the other weav
ing flibres, and claims that cotton has
driven these out of competition.
That by a determined organiza
tion, the past has already demonstrated
what can be done to develop the South
in every material way. It takes but
a small raise in the price to realize a
vast amount of money. He said that a
raise of one cent a pound will ut
$000,00) into South Carolina alone, not
into the pockets of a few, but each and
every one gets his prorata share He
contends that the association has only
just, begun its work, what has been
done in the past although it accom
plished so much, was but the skirmish
ing for the great battle to come. Oi
Lranization and capitalization for the
control of our markets is the aim, and
through the standard warehouse system
this will be accomplished. The speaker
laid much stress on the market, con
trol feature of the association. He said
that he proposes to put the organiza-l
tion into a huge corporation with a
large capital, and have a buyer at each
cotton market in the South. A mini
mum price will be fixed by the associ
ation, and the man who is forced to
sell before that price is reached will
sell to the association's buyer and he
will turn the key upon it in a ware
house. If it becomes necessary money
will be borrowed upon stored cottou,
and the Bears will be driven out of
the market. He cautioned his hearers
against being fooled by Price and his
bullish movements. He made a great
hit when in a moment of digression he
told his hearers that they spent six
months buying grass, and the other six
months killing it. and "it is a ruinous
mistake" said he
The entire address was replete with
the soundest of advice, well and mag
niticiently put., and although he spoke
for one hour and twenty minutes the
audience gave him the closest atten
tion, and regretted when he stopped
speaking. Mr Smith is confident that
before the new crop of cotton comes in
the price will be over 15 cents, and
gave -.ery strong reasons for his bclief.
Captain A. L. Lesesne of Silver made
a motion which was unanimously adopt
ed that the ginners of Clarendon meet
with the executive committee the first
Monday in June to consider the matter
of collecting the ten cents per bale as
sessment. The meeting iras harmonious,
and merchant, banker, lawyer, and
farmer all were greatly encouraged by
the address.
A Charity Hospital.
At the conclusion of a most excellent
sermon last Sunday morning, Rev. A.
N. Brunson announced that a lady in
formed him of a suggestion made by a
gentleman of this town, who is not a
member of any church, that a charity
hospital be brilt here, and that he
would contribute 8500 for the cause.
The name of the man was not given.
but the minister stressed the fact that
the man is not a member of a church.
The proposition is a good one and we
hope it will be acted upon. It is all
right to profess religion, but it is al
together another matter to demonstrate
faith by works. The mac whose heart.
goes out to the suff'ering, and who de
sires to provide the means to succor
them, whether he professes religion or
not, or whether he belongs to achurch,
has a religion that the multitude should
rave: sub a re.ligion is more pleasing
in the sight of God. than a hundred
actionless professions. "Love thy
eghbor'' is one of the fundamental
;ricples of all religions, even the
heathen, at the mothers breast is
taught the doctrine, and vet it is a mat
ter of every day notoriesy that or fel
low beings ao permittad to suffer
without a succoring hand to alleviate
their pain. ~Men, women and children
within ear-call are permitted to die for
want of proper medical attention, and
this too, in a civilizedl, cultured, com
munity, under the shadows of churches.
A man who is not a member of any
church comes forward and. proposes for
this town to provide the means where
the poor may get the benefits of skill
ful attention, and with his proposition
he offers to give a nice sum. Are
there any others to come forwardYes,
we know of another who will give a lot
to build ahe hospital on. The lot con
tains one half acre about one block
from the court house square. We en
dose the proposition heartily and we
hope the good ladies will go to work,
form a hopital organization and not
stop until they have raised a sufficient
sum to erect ~and equip the building
and then we also hope our town au
thorities will look after its maintain
ance. If there is any way that we can
aid the enterprise wve hold ourself
ready for orders.
